The travel cost must be paid by this week if you want to join the travel.
I wrote this sentence. I showed it to a native speaker, then he changed the last word(travel) to ‘trip’, saying people usually confused ‘trip’ and ‘travel’. I used ‘travel cost’, so I used ‘travel’ again with ‘the’ as a direct object for ‘join’. Why shouldn’t I use ‘travel’? What’s the difference between the two words? I looked up the dictionary, but I can’t find out the answer.

In this sentence, „travel” is used as a verb. It is something you do. It represents movement from place to place. The correct word to use at the end of the sentence would be „trip” because it represents a noun. It is a thing, a definitive place people are going. Something that is planned.
Words can make a head spin!!!!

Both travel & trip can be used as verbs or nouns. I’d say they are synonymous when used in the context of going from one place to another. No difference. „I am going to travel to France” – same meaning as „I’m going to make a trip to France”. As a previous answer said, it’s good to try not to use repeat words in a passage, so trip & travel can be inter-changed.
